WTF is up with my BOV!! i have 2!!


Recommended Posts

Guest | hype^ |

check this out guys!!

when i bought the car i thought it had a stock BOV on .. but today i saw a piece of metal with "blitz" on it.. under the air box

im like cool iv got sumthin thats blitz...

i take a closer look and its a F**kn bov!!!

some idiot but a blitz bov on the car under the airbox and left the stock 1 there!!

and coz the stock 1 is ferther back the blitz 1 doesnt even get to go off!! it aint loud at all..

u cant hear the bov properly when u just rev it on the spot! only a lil on changes!!

what the hell do i do??

i was thinking of swaping the blitz and stock bovs around so the blitz 1 is the 1 used first for better sound..

or maybe replace the stock 1 with the blitz and some how block the hole where the blitz 1 was off (iv got nfi how to block it!)

what do uz recon??? :P

mine is right next to my intercooler, and if anyone on these boards has heard it, they will agree with me when i say it is BLOODY loud!!!!

My stock one just blocks up that piping..

see...

dam prank! nice position! - my blitz is right under the airbox :P iv got no idea why they put it there.. but it should sound better after i remove the airbox and get a filter ;)

prank.. the problem with mine was that the stock was not blocked off..

so the air was filtering through the stock 1 and didnt have a chance to get to the blitz.

i fixed it today..;)

i but a piece of metal between the piping and the stock valve..

now he air goes straight to the blitz bov!

sounds nice!!!

but i need more boost and a POD filter and exhaust ;) to make it sound louder:uh-huh: :D;)

yeah. its VERY loud there... if i hit boost hard through any tunnels (spesh the harbour tunnel) it is seriously deafening. My whole front bar shakes when it goes off.

Yeah, i luuuurve my DTMS!! :P:D (thanks too).

JiMb0 experienced my bov at low boost last w/end. ;)

YEH PRANK!!

was i impressed or what!!!

did i hear u right in saying that it was only 2pound!??

that thing was loud as hell!!

:uh-huh:

i like the way u pulled right up next to my window with the wheel.. :lol:

and i got laughted at by prank's gf when i showed him mine,!

i cant believe its the same valve!!!:eek:

that was Bec 2. :) I have 2 becs, my gf and my other bec (a good friend) - that was my friend Bec, not my gf.... it gets confusing.

yeah, when i lifted off it had only hit 2psi. :) or thereabouts.

GTR80Y, i need to angle the valve upward!! ;)

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
    • You don't have an R34 service manual for the body do you? Have found plenty for the engine and drivetrain but nothing else
